Development
~~~~~~~~~~~
Git Wiki is under heavy development. The source tree can be browsed at `/code/bn-project </code/bn-project/>`__.
To Do
-----
-* implement equations feature to handle both latex and xhtml display of
- latex-style math
-* implement figures (have to handle image urls/items)
-* implement latex and pdf generation
* implement per-section commentary
* possibly implement aafigure ascii->svg plugin for docutils
* possibly implement auto linking for CamelCase text (probably not)

+================

-(ed: taken from docutils package)
----------------------------------
+reStructured text is a markup language commonly used in wikis (including
+`Git Wiki`_) and software documentation. It strives to be readable in
+its raw text
+form, extensible, easy to write, and flexible in output. Writers
+exist to output HTML, XHTML, LaTeX, and several other formats

+reStructured text is closely tied to the python community and is used
+in the formating of PEPs. The most popular implementation is `docutils`_.

-Structure
----------
-
-From the outset, let me say that "Structured Text" is probably a bit
-of a misnomer. It's more like "Relaxed Text" that uses certain
-consistent patterns. These patterns are interpreted by a HTML
-converter to produce "Very Structured Text" that can be used by a web
-browser.
-
-The most basic pattern recognised is a **paragraph** (quickref__).
-That's a chunk of text that is separated by blank lines (one is
-enough). Paragraphs must have the same indentation -- that is, line
-up at their left edge. Paragraphs that start indented will result in
-indented quote paragraphs. For example::
-
- This is a paragraph. It's quite
- short.
-
- This paragraph will result in an indented block of
- text, typically used for quoting other text.
-
- This is another one.
-
-Results in:
-
- This is a paragraph. It's quite
- short.
-

-
-__ quickref.html#paragraphs
-
-
-Text styles
------------
-
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#inline-markup
-
-Inside paragraphs and other bodies of text, you may additionally mark
-text for *italics* with "``*italics*``" or **bold** with
-"``**bold**``".
-
-If you want something to appear as a fixed-space literal, use
-"````double back-quotes````". Note that no further fiddling is done
-inside the double back-quotes -- so asterisks "``*``" etc. are left
-alone.
-
-If you find that you want to use one of the "special" characters in
-text, it will generally be OK -- reStructuredText is pretty smart.
-For example, this * asterisk is handled just fine. If you actually
-want text \*surrounded by asterisks* to **not** be italicised, then
-you need to indicate that the asterisk is not special. You do this by
-placing a backslash just before it, like so "``\*``" (quickref__), or
-by enclosing it in double back-quotes (inline literals), like this::
-
- ``\*``
-
-__ quickref.html#escaping
-
-
-Lists
------
-
-Lists of items come in three main flavours: **enumerated**,
-**bulleted** and **definitions**. In all list cases, you may have as
-many paragraphs, sublists, etc. as you want, as long as the left-hand
-side of the paragraph or whatever aligns with the first line of text
-in the list item.
-
-Lists must always start a new paragraph -- that is, they must appear
-after a blank line.
-
-**enumerated** lists (numbers, letters or roman numerals; quickref__)
- __ quickref.html#enumerated-lists
-
- Start a line off with a number or letter followed by a period ".",
- right bracket ")" or surrounded by brackets "( )" -- whatever you're
- comfortable with. All of the following forms are recognised::
-
- 1. numbers
-
- A. upper-case letters
- and it goes over many lines
-
- with two paragraphs and all!
-
- a. lower-case letters
-
- 3. with a sub-list starting at a different number
- 4. make sure the numbers are in the correct sequence though!
-
- I. upper-case roman numerals
-
- i. lower-case roman numerals
-
- (1) numbers again
-
- 1) and again
-
- Results in (note: the different enumerated list styles are not
- always supported by every web browser, so you may not get the full
- effect here):
-
- 1. numbers
-
- A. upper-case letters
- and it goes over many lines
-
- with two paragraphs and all!
-
- a. lower-case letters
-
- 3. with a sub-list starting at a different number
- 4. make sure the numbers are in the correct sequence though!
-
- I. upper-case roman numerals
-
- i. lower-case roman numerals
-
- (1) numbers again
-
- 1) and again
-
-**bulleted** lists (quickref__)
- __ quickref.html#bullet-lists
-
- Just like enumerated lists, start the line off with a bullet point
- character - either "-", "+" or "*"::
-
- * a bullet point using "*"
-
- - a sub-list using "-"
-
- + yet another sub-list
-
- - another item
-
- Results in:
-
- * a bullet point using "*"
-
- - a sub-list using "-"
-
- + yet another sub-list
-
- - another item
-
-**definition** lists (quickref__)
- __ quickref.html#definition-lists
-
- Unlike the other two, the definition lists consist of a term, and
- the definition of that term. The format of a definition list is::
-
- what
- Definition lists associate a term with a definition.
-
- *how*
- The term is a one-line phrase, and the definition is one or more
- paragraphs or body elements, indented relative to the term.
- Blank lines are not allowed between term and definition.
-
- Results in:
-
- what
- Definition lists associate a term with a definition.
-
- *how*
- The term is a one-line phrase, and the definition is one or more
- paragraphs or body elements, indented relative to the term.
- Blank lines are not allowed between term and definition.
-
-
-Preformatting (code samples)
-----------------------------
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#literal-blocks
-
-To just include a chunk of preformatted, never-to-be-fiddled-with
-text, finish the prior paragraph with "``::``". The preformatted
-block is finished when the text falls back to the same indentation
-level as a paragraph prior to the preformatted block. For example::
-
- An example::
-
- Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup
- (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks.
- Lookie here, I've dropped an indentation level
- (but not far enough)
-
- no more example
-
-Results in:

- (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks.
- Lookie here, I've dropped an indentation level
- (but not far enough)
-
- no more example
-
-Note that if a paragraph consists only of "``::``", then it's removed
-from the output::
-
- ::
-
- This is preformatted text, and the
- last "::" paragraph is removed
-
-Results in:
-
-::
-
- This is preformatted text, and the
- last "::" paragraph is removed
-
-
-Sections
---------
-
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#section-structure
-
-To break longer text up into sections, you use **section headers**.
-These are a single line of text (one or more words) with adornment: an
-underline alone, or an underline and an overline together, in dashes
-"``-----``", equals "``======``", tildes "``~~~~~~``" or any of the
-non-alphanumeric characters ``= - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < >`` that you
-feel comfortable with. An underline-only adornment is distinct from
-an overline-and-underline adornment using the same character. The
-underline/overline must be at least as long as the title text. Be
-consistent, since all sections marked with the same adornment style
-are deemed to be at the same level::
-
- Chapter 1 Title
- ===============
-
- Section 1.1 Title
- -----------------
-
- Subsection 1.1.1 Title
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Section 1.2 Title
- -----------------
-
- Chapter 2 Title
- ===============
-
-This results in the following structure, illustrated by simplified
-pseudo-XML::
-
- <section>
- <title>
- Chapter 1 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Section 1.1 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Subsection 1.1.1 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Section 1.2 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Chapter 2 Title
-
-(Pseudo-XML uses indentation for nesting and has no end-tags. It's
-not possible to show actual processed output, as in the other
-examples, because sections cannot exist inside block quotes. For a
-concrete example, compare the section structure of this document's
-source text and processed output.)
-
-Note that section headers are available as link targets, just using
-their name. To link to the Lists_ heading, I write "``Lists_``". If
-the heading has a space in it like `text styles`_, we need to quote
-the heading "```text styles`_``".
-
-
-Document Title / Subtitle
-`````````````````````````
-
-The title of the whole document is distinct from section titles and
-may be formatted somewhat differently (e.g. the HTML writer by default
-shows it as a centered heading).
-
-To indicate the document title in reStructuredText, use a unique adornment
-style at the beginning of the document. To indicate the document subtitle,
-use another unique adornment style immediately after the document title. For
-example::
-
- ================
- Document Title
- ================
- ----------
- Subtitle
- ----------
-
- Section Title
- =============
-
- ...
-
-Note that "Document Title" and "Section Title" above both use equals
-signs, but are distict and unrelated styles. The text of
-overline-and-underlined titles (but not underlined-only) may be inset
-for aesthetics.
-
-
-Images
-------
-
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#directives
-
-To include an image in your document, you use the the ``image`` directive__.
-For example::
-
- .. image:: images/biohazard.png
-
-results in:
-
-.. image:: images/biohazard.png
-
-The ``images/biohazard.png`` part indicates the filename of the image
-you wish to appear in the document. There's no restriction placed on
-the image (format, size etc). If the image is to appear in HTML and
-you wish to supply additional information, you may::
-
- .. image:: images/biohazard.png
- :height: 100
- :width: 200
- :scale: 50
- :alt: alternate text
-
-See the full `image directive documentation`__ for more info.
